Default Ground Transportation from MCO to Port Canaveral?

Anyone know how often the Carnival ground transportation runs from the Orlando airport to Port Canaveral? We're flying into Orlando and looking for a way to get to the ship.

Check FL destination board - alot of good info there for Port Canaveral - we used a transportation service -

If there are alot of you - rent a car -very easy drive with drop off at Port area.

Need cash for tolls

You can save money and time by booking your own transportation - try Cocoa Beach Shuttle, Executive VIP, and Star Transportation among others.

Better yet - assuming you are being a SMART cruiser and are flying in at least one day early to prevent a delayed or cancelled flight from causing you to miss the ship - rent a car one way from MCO; then you can shop and dine where you want.

Good luck!

There are also fly snooze and cruise programs .Pick you up at airport take you to hotel then take you to ship and back to airport.It was such a good deal.
Just Google it or go to Departure board.

Flying into Orlando in a couple weeks and we're renting a van. 8 of us going, and we wanted to have our own transportation to go to dinner, grocery store, etc., before cruising the next day. Booked Cocoa Beach Shuttle for the return trip. Very nice people, easy to work with, and much cheaper than Carnival or any other transfer service/company. They also offer a Cruise Critic discount if you mention it. We're paying $114 for 8 of us. That's less than $15 per person. Good luck!

I also prefer to rent a car. A few of the companies will let you rent one way and have a drop off right at the port. No extra fees for the one way rental or dropping at a different location. This gives you a lot of freedom.
